While Bosses and Execs through tantrums are another class altogether - I can suggest a way or two to put a Team Lead/Architect in place when they throw a tantrum (NOTE: this only works if you actually know your shit and are correct):
- Shout back and stare down. Match such a person eye-to-eye. But don't take the heat personally. Simply play-back the game.
- Never-ever (NEVER EVER!!) let anybody (ANYBODY!!) shape your career.
- Rebuff the Lead/Architect: Tell him/her that this immature behavior will not be tolerated and if this continues, you will take your own direction and won't require his/her services as your lead.
However, sometimes ahole Lead/Architect are too powerful/influential and can actually impact your career. In such cases, don't waste time and apply elsewhere.
- MawNicker 11y ago"Never-ever (NEVER EVER!!) let anybody (ANYBODY!!) shape your career." Um... How does one do that exactly? I think you mean: Never-ever form a concept of how much other people actually do shape your career. Which is obviously stupid advice. Not that I don't find obsequiousness as annoying as you apparently do.
- throweway 11y agoSounds like a very personal story generalised to advice. Perhap it should be never ever let that asshole Tim shape your career. For example.
- chippy 11y agoBosses, Execs, middle manager, Team Leads etc can always throw a tantrum, but only with those directly under them. So, your if team lead can throw a tantrum and get away with it, they will only do so with no one above them present. It's about status and power. If they cannot get away with a tantrum, ask yourself why? Possibly it's because their underlings perform the same things as your advice advocates. What would such a boss do in this situation to consolidate their status?
